3rd Post— Healthcare Reform—1st Attempt at Brevity!

No pre-existing conditions. Insurance across state lines. Tort reform.Voluntary assistance to those in need. No free health care for illegal immigrants. Purchase pharmaceuticals anywhere—caveat emptor! (30 words!)

For those who don't know what Tort is—think "My Cousin Vinny" or if you can stomach it, John Edwards, while enjoying the ever increasing onslaught of ads that urge you to sue evil companies that have given you illnesses you have never heard of or can't pronounce. Trial lawyers are the ones that absolve you of personal responsibility while getting you exhorbitant amounts of money. Simply put—personal injury lawyers (ambulance chasers). Just research "punitive damages" paid out on these claims and you'll see just how obscene this business has become.

While I'm at it, how about some advertising reform? As in no more Viagra, Cialis, Prozac, Irritable Bowel Syndrome ads while I'm watching television with my family. No wonder Americans are overmedicating. Television spends all of its time telling you what is wrong with you, what is about to be wrong with you and/or how you can sue the other guy because he caused what's wrong with you. Enough said. I'm starting to write War and Peace (again!).
